Who is Min Ziqian's teacher? What are the stories about Min Zikai?

Min Zikai, a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, is a famous dutiful son in history. Not only did his teacher Confucius praise him, but later emperors also pursued him many times. However, such a great and filial son, his name is a bit abstruse. Min ziqian, whose name is lost, is named ziqian. Min Ziqian is a disciple of Confucius and a famous saint in ancient China. His filial piety and integrity were praised by Confucius, so he was regarded as a model of filial piety by later generations. The story about Min Ziqian is recorded in Confucius' example, The Analects of Confucius, Sima Qian's Historical Records and Min Ziqian's Single Clothes in the Song Dynasty. The story that Min Zikai tells the most is that she and her mother live together. The Book of Filial Piety written by Minzi was compiled into Twenty-four Filial Pieties in Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and it was named Whipping Reed Flowers or Alone with My Mother. The main idea of the article is as follows: Min Ziqian lost his mother in his early years, and his father married his stepmother, giving birth to two sons, all dressed in fine clothes. Jealous of his loss, he dressed him in clothes full of reeds. My father ordered Min to drive, but my hands were cold and I couldn't catch the reins. After my father found out why, I wanted to leave my mother. Min Min advised: One child's mother is cold, and three children's mothers will go. The stepmother heard about it and regretted it. There is a poem praising: Min's family has a good husband. Why did he complain about his late mother? The mother stood in front of the car and the third son was protected from the wind and frost.

A drop of Cao Xi is a famous idiom, and its origin is related to Min Zikai. Confucius accepted all his students and disciples, 3,000. But saints also have to live, so they have to pay tuition to become their disciples. This tuition fee is a bundle, which is dried meat strips. Min Zikai's family was poor and could not afford dried meat strips, so he prepared an altar of carefully brewed wine for Confucius with Cao Xishui. Some students sneered that Cao Xi's water was no match for a bundle. Confucius is a good teacher who cares about his disciples. Hearing this, he deliberately said in class: Min Zikai has come a long way to study, and his spirit is commendable. Although a drop of Cao Xi is far better than a hundred bundles. Since then, the story of Cao Cao's surrender has spread. In addition to the stories of Shunmu and Cao Xi's Yidi, there are many legends about Min Zikai, almost all of which praise his character, which shows that Min Zikai's reputation in history is not bad. Confucius advocated benevolence, righteousness and propriety all his life, and paid great attention to the moral education of his disciples. His disciple Min Ziqian is a famous filial son in history, with excellent quality and integrity, and has been praised by his teacher Confucius many times.

Min Zikai lost his mother when he was a child, and his stepmother treated him differently, which often made him hungry and cold, but Min Zikai had to endure all this silently for the sake of family harmony. However, paper can't wrap fire. Min Zikai's father later learned about his stepmother's behavior. He was very angry and said that he would get rid of his stepmother. At this time, the young man Min Ziqian not only did not take the opportunity to fan the flames, but also knelt down and begged his father to say: Mother is here, I am alone in the cold; Without mom, all three of us will be cold. Father was very surprised and shocked by this. He didn't expect the child to be so sensible and decided not to pursue his stepmother. The stepmother was also very moved, and she was as good as her own child from now on. The ancients thought that Min Zikai could keep a pure heart when he treated his stepmother, which was a cash withdrawal of great filial piety, so he was listed as one of the 24 filial piety.

In addition to filial piety, Min Zikai is also praised for his integrity. At that time, Lu was ruled by Ji, and Ji's perverse behavior caused many people's dissatisfaction. At this time, Ji Hengzi of Ji's family found Min Zikai and asked him to be the chief executive in his fief. Min Zikai looked down on Ji Jia, so he didn't want to work for Ji Jia. He said to the bearer, just refuse me this matter If I do it again, I'll go together! Later, however, at the behest of his teacher Confucius, Min Zikai took office. He managed the school well and made great achievements, but in the end he resigned because he didn't like his behavior. It can be seen that Min Ziqian is honest, not a person who is willing to bend over for five buckets of rice.
